A Railway Tie Nursery.

A notable phase of railway industry
is railway tie nursery, situated near
the little town of darlington, Kan, in
the southern part of that State. 1t is
said to be the largest artificial plantation
of forest trees in North America, and is
owned by the Southern Pacific. The diff
ferent sections have been planted re-
spectively two. four and six years, one
fourth being planted with the ailanthus,
the rest with the catalpa. together with
a few white ash. Those first planted are
now about twenty-five feet in height,
the last about twelve and some of the
taller are seven inches through the
stem. There are in ell about 5000. 900
trees, in full vigor, on the plantation;
all were planted four feet apart each
way to shade the ground, though eight
feet is the ultimate intention, this plan
allowing three-fourtas of the trees to
be cut out when they are fit for fence
posts. When rather larger it is ex-
pected the trees will make excellent
railway ties in great numbers-that is.
aster thinning-out process there will
be some 100000 trees TO come to
maturity. The area of this vast rail-
way tie nursery is to be still further
Increased.-Boston Budget.

Nocturnal Photography.

Various methods have been intro
duced for the accomplishment of noe
turnal photography. and some of the
most beautiful landscape views taken
at night by the light of the full moon
have been produced in France. the time
of exposure of the plate being one hour;
the clearness of the photograph is de-
scribed as being wonderful, and. except
for the lights in the buildings and on
the bridges, and their reflection in the
water, the picture could hardly be dis
tinguished from one taken in the day
time. Another photographer obtains
very excellent views of his library at
night by ordinary gas light; in this case
the time of exposure was only thirty
minutes. an achievement somewhat re.
markable, in view of the fact that the
old-fashioDed wet collodion plates were
almost entirely unaffected by the light
from such a source.-N. I. San.

FOOLISH CRIMINALS.
Men Who Fight a Losing Battle and Mare
to Certain Defeat.

Men Who Fight a Losing Battle and March
to Certain Defeat.
The professional criminal, looking
at the subject from the low plane of
personal advantage, is certainly a
weak-minded and short-sighted indi-
vidual. There is an element of idiocy
in all "crooks," however shrewd or
cunning they may be in the prosecu-
ton of their nefarious specialties. They
all possess a saort-sighted moral vision
which does not enable them to discern
the relation between cause and effect.
He is. indeed. a dull pupi. whom a
hundred generations of criminal history
does not teach that che who sows the
wind shall reap the whirlwind. But
still they go fatuitously sowing the
wind expecting to garner in their
sheaves of gentle summer zephyrs.
That the way of the transgressor is
hard has been proven as Individually by
experience as any proposition in geome-
try. Bank burglars. who have held in
their possession millions of stolen prop
erty, almost inevitably come to the low
est grade of poverty and are finally
taken and die in confinement and dis
grace. Expert forgers and counter
feiters-men of unusual artistic skill
and cleverness-almOst invariably lose
their ill-gotten gains, and die like out
casts in prisons or penitentiaries, who,
if their talents had not been so woefully
misspent, might have lived in the af-
fiuence which their skill would have
gathered around them. Surely there is
some fatal obliquity in the moral and
intellectual vision of such men. The
most cunning shrewdness of the GRIM
inal is akin to idiocy.
The feats of the Jessie James gang
were frequently bold and brilliantly
executed; but no man of well-balanced
mind looking from the low standpoint
of prudence. would engage in such en-
terprises. They subject themselves tc
life of insanity. violence and danger;
and detection and punishment is in
evitable. The career of the notorious
Stain gang in New England forcibly
illustrates this truth. Stain and Crom-
we'll are evidently men of good abili-
ties and some education, who might
have attained position of respecta-
bility. if not of prominence, in any
community. But they fatui..,isly pur-
sued another course; and now in
poverty, and amid the execrations OF
good and bad men alike. they stand in
the shadow of the gallows. From the
days of Captain Kidd to tn e days OF
David Stain it has been proven thou
sand times that he who wars on society
as = criminal inevitably fights a losing
battle and marches to certain defeat.
The fool and the criminal are
brothers.-YaBkee Blade
